Thank you! :D

I'm not usually one of those 'crazy coupon ladies' that has a stash of food, but $.49 a bag? I bought my Walgreen out of Bugles...and seriously depleted their Chex Mix section. XD

They keep for a long time and seriously $.49 is just to awesome to pass up.

I really need to get a printer so I can go to those coupon sites. My cousin swears by them.

Having dealt with most types of printers over the years, I recommend a Canon. Their ink is cheaper than HP and Lexxmark and they're more user friendly.

We have a Canon Pixma MG5200.

It's got a scanner, fax, copy, and printing features. The copy machine works without any computer on at all. It's also got Wi-Fi which is nice because we're able to have all the computers in the house print from one printer. It can do fancy printing like pictures and paper saving features like double sided printing without hassles. The scanner feature is nice, too. I use it to archive my knitting patterns. It allows you to scan multiple pages into pdf format, combines it into one pdf file, and forwards it to your computer.

If you're not in a huge rush to get one, the electronics usually go on sale closer to Christmas.

Your Bugles mock and hurt me. I love them,and haven't had them in a very long time.

:(

You could try cloning them using healthier/fresher ingredients maybe? Like baking them instead of frying...And then you can post the recipe so I can make them, too. Think of it as a challenge. ;D

Omg, those caramel bugles are crazy good. I can't buy because I Hoover them sooo fast.
Also, hooray for savings!

I'd never had them before actually; I just needed 8 bags to get the amount for the coupons I had. Since I'd already taken all the regular bugles, I grabbed these.

If I had known how fabulous they were, I would have gotten more! They taste like Cracker Jacks without all the tooth pain/having to pick kernels out of my teeth.

My only complaint was that they bag was too small.

Go you!!! Great savings. I don't give myself the time to truly coupon as much as is possible.

It does take a lot of forethought and planning. You have to keep track of what you use on a monthly basis and buy when it's on sale and you have a coupon.

I use several coupon blogs where other people do the work for me, matching up coupons with sales. The only thing I have to do is print out the coupons and pair them with my grocery lists.

It takes about 10 hours a week once you get set up, but that time is spread out throughout the week. (And that's counting the actual shopping.)

I managed to shave the grocery bill down by half though which is fantastic.

Well done. :) We don't have coupons in Australia, looking at this I wish we did.
